The Borderlands: Calypso & Odysseus
Friday to Sunday, weekends of October 16 & 23
Borderlands is an immersive, interactive experience, presented through films and a theatrical soundtrack, set in an illuminated forest. The audience uses shadow puppets to act out the scenes as the story unfolds.
The story of the Odyssey is an unquestioned myth. Well, this rendition is asking questions. What if Odysseus spent seven years on the island with Calypso learning how to be a man? Not just a man, but a good one? By doing the hard work to become a conscientious person, could the outcome be radically different?
This show considered PG. It is written for adults, and appropriate only for children who are comfortable with involved storytelling and some violence.
Borderlands proceeds support the scholarship fund at Treewild Forest Classroom, Enchantment Camps and Shelburne Farms youth programming.
